The car world is watching the market launch of the VW ID.3 with a jealous eye. Fans of compact and affordable “sports cars” are, however, looking forward to the VW ID.3 R. Apparently rightly so – because the small car with all-wheel drive and two electric motors is extremely strong and makes the well-known Golf GTI disappear in the rear-view mirror.

Volkswagen currently has its hands full, the market launch of what is extremely important for the group VW ID.3 to get across the stage who anything but light runs.

But once he has arrived in dry cloths and the small electric car has reached the market, you can dream again. One or the other VW customer has already taken the logical step (after normal comes extra strong) and has been waiting alongside dem VW ID.4 on a sharpened, an R version of the VW ID.3.

There is hardly any question of this coming. “If there is a future for” R “, it is electric, no question at all,” said VW board member Jürgen Stackmann last year for the renowned British automobile magazine Coach. And Autocar now wants to know more about the “in-house Golf GTI fighter” project. At the same time, the magazine shows a self-made rendering of the not yet available VW ID.3 R, which you can see above.

Market launch in 2024

The winged word “GTI opponent” can easily be misleading in this context. For one thing, the Golf GTI will soon no longer be available as a new edition – it will simply be replaced by the purely electric VW ID.3. On the other hand, there is another performance abbreviation for electrically powered VW – GTX in addition to the R label.

According to information from Coach Volkswagen will not use this for the ID.3. Apart from the naming: Autocar writes that a VW ID.3 R should come on the market in 2024.

It is speculated that this model has an output of 300 hp – at least. According to the report, VW wants to work with its in-house motorsport department to find appropriate battery solutions. Whether it is also an R version VW ID.1 will give?
